Obviously we can't go to the customer today, so I'm going out. São Paulo is not very safe, but I think my old backpack can do it. So I walk to Ibirapuera Park, a large city park with lots of birds, people and security. In any case, it is safe in the park. I don't see any rare birds, but some unknown species to me.
